"Princess, let's go back first. Since Your Majesty has agreed to this in front of the ministers, he will never regret it again!" It was almost noon, but Princess Pingyang still did not leave the Tai Chi Hall, but stood there silently waiting for the imperial edict to be issued.

"No, I have to get the imperial edict in person to be at ease!" Princess Pingyang shook her head stubbornly at this time.

"But..." Li Xiu wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw the firm expression on Princess Pingyang's face, he didn't know what to say, so he had to wait with her. However, Zhang Shiyi next to him could not wait. He was tired and hungry at this time, and he wanted to go home to see his daughter, but without Li Xiu or Princess Pingyang, he could not leave the palace at all.

After waiting until noon, Pei Ji finally walked out of the inner hall. The palace servant had just told him that Princess Pingyang had not left yet, so he was not surprised. He immediately came to Princess Pingyang with an imperial edict and said, "Princess, the imperial edict has been drafted. This is yours. In addition, another imperial edict has been sent to Chai Shao's mansion. You will never have any relationship again!"

"Thank you... Thank you Pei Xiang!" Princess Pingyang said excitedly when she heard this. After saying that, she reached out to take the imperial edict, and then hugged it tightly in front of her chest. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't help but shed tears. With this imperial edict, she finally became free. The big stone that had been pressed on her chest for many years seemed to disappear in an instant, and she felt much more relaxed and free in breathing.

Seeing Princess Pingyang's excited look, even Pei Ji felt a little sad. Princess Pingyang had already paid too much for the Tang Dynasty. Now it is time for her to have some life of her own.

Li Xiu also stepped forward to thank Pei Ji, but Pei Ji stared at Li Xiu for a moment, and finally sighed: "Li Xiu, you have talents that ordinary people cannot reach. I just hope that you will use your talents to benefit the world in the future, rather than messing around the world!"

"Why did Xiang Pei say that? I have always taken it as my responsibility to benefit the world?" Li Xiu said with wide eyes when he heard this. Of course, although he was a bit boasting, and most of the things that benefit the world might have other purposes, no matter what, those water trucks, cans and other things can benefit the world.

"If you really want to benefit the world, then come to the court to be an official so that your talents can be displayed!" Pei Ji said to Li Xiu when he heard this. Sometimes he couldn't understand why Li Xiu, who was young, didn't like being an official, which is something that most young people can't ask for.

"Pei Xiang, your idea was wrong. Who said that you must be an official to benefit the world? You see, if I don't become an official now, hasn't it also benefited many people? Especially after the promotion of sweet potatoes and corn, it benefited the world. Wouldn't such achievements be more important than being an official?" Li Xiu asked in the end. In fact, he was a little confused about Pei Ji's idea. Later generations said that no matter which position, they were all contributing to the country. But when we arrived at the Tang Dynasty, it seemed that you had to be an official to contribute to the country. Is this the ancient official-oriented idea?

"You...oh, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you, but where is your sweet potato and corn? I want to see it with my own eyes!" Pei Ji pointed at Li Xiu and didn't know what to say. Finally, he shook his head and sighed, and then proposed to see sweet potato and corn. Such an important crop, he must see it with his own eyes. In addition, if possible, he should promote it as soon as possible.

"No problem, we are going back. If Pei Xiang has time, why not go back with us!" Li Xiu agreed readily. After presenting sweet potatoes and corn today, he knew that the court would definitely send someone to check it out.

"Of course there is time. The biggest thing in the court now is that you are sweet potatoes and corn. I will not only go there, but also bring some back. I hope it can be promoted near Chang'an first, and then to the whole country. At that time, our Tang Dynasty will no longer have to worry about food shortage!"

When Pei Ji spoke at the end, he couldn't help but show an excited expression on his face. He was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. If he could promote sweet potatoes and corn while he was in office, it would be a huge political achievement. With this alone, he would be worthy of being famous in history. This is exactly what scholars yearn for the most.

At that moment, Li Xiu and his friends left the Tai Chi Hall and walked into the carriage after leaving the palace gate. Princess Pingyang's mental fluctuations were too great, and she was very tired at this time. Li Xiu helped her get on the carriage in front. Pei Ji and Zhang Shiyi sat on the carriage behind. Before getting on the carriage, Zhang Shiyi kept introducing Pei Ji to Pei Ji about his achievements in this matter. It seemed that he was asking for a reward from the Tang Dynasty. After all, with such great efforts, the Tang Dynasty could not erase the contributions of their father and son.

As the carriage slowly left the palace, and there were only her and Li Xiu on the carriage, Princess Pingyang suddenly threw herself into Li Xiu's arms and tears kept flowing. This scared Li Xiu first, then comforted softly: "Okay, the imperial edict has been obtained. Xiuning, you can sleep peacefully, and I will handle the rest!"

Hearing Li Xiu's comfort, Princess Pingyang nodded gently. In fact, she felt very tired when she was in the hall just now. After all, the things in the hall just now made her emotions fluctuate. Even if she was as strong as her, she felt a little unsustainable. She finally regained her freedom. At this time, she felt extremely relaxed. In addition, leaning on Li Xiu's warm chest, she fell asleep in a short while.

Looking at Princess Pingyang who was sleeping soundly, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel extremely pity in his heart. He adjusted his posture so that she could sleep more comfortably, and wanted to take the imperial edict in her hand, but even in her sleep, Princess Pingyang was still tightly clenched. Li Xiu tried it for a few times and could only give up helplessly.

When the carriage returned to Princess Pingyang's villa, Li Xiu ordered people outside to ask Zhang Shiyi to take Pei Ju to the sweet potato field first, and he sent Princess Pingyang back to her bedroom to rest. After the carriage entered the villa, Li Xiu carried her off the carriage, which surprised many servants in the villa. After all, except for a few people such as helmets, few people saw Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang so close.

However, Li Xiu didn't care at this time. Princess Pingyang was free and no longer had to be bound by marriage. Moreover, they had already been in court. In his heart, Pingyang was his wife, and at this time he couldn't bear to wake up Princess Pingyang. He immediately carried her to the bedroom of the inner house, and then gently placed her on the bed.

Originally, Li Xiu wanted to accompany Princess Pingyang for a while, but when he thought that Pei Ji was still outside, he had no choice but to help Princess Pingyang cover the blanket and immediately left the princess villa to come to the Sweet Potato Field. However, when he just arrived here, he was shocked, and then immediately shouted: "Stop it all!" (To be continued.)
